Does anyone here monitor their daily bandwidth usage?

Dark Light · 4 Apr 2014 at 00:51

I use to monitor my bandwidth usage with NetLimiter, but it's not that good anymore. I was just wondering if anyone here did it and what they used, not that I have limited internet or need to monitor a network or anything, I just want to see how much I use on a daily basis and have used in the past.

Not by choice but my NZB client tracks daily, weekly and monthly usage. Your router will have a built in traffic monitor which you can enable if it's half decent.

Don't really have a router, I am connecting to a larger network with only a small router for wifi.

Now I have unlimited, no. Doesn't interest me in the slightest. It did when I was having to pay £1 per GB if I went over.

No. Unlimited FTW!

dumeter will do what you want.

I do simply for curiosities sake but I have unlimited downloaded and for monitoring live stats.

Unlimited here so don't bother tracking! If I'm curious as to what I've used, knowing my usage has been particularly high, I may have a gander. My ISP has a usage meter on their website, so I use that.

I have a company monitor mine,there called "virgin" and are pretty quick at sending out letters if i download to much

Unlimited here too.

I used to use DuMeter till the key kept giving me problems so I don't brother anymore. I used it to monitor my download and upload rates and was always trying to beat myself the month before, it was my goal to upload 1TB in one month, came very close but never could do it!

It was also very handy to tell you when the Internet broke since the download speeds would drop.

You really had letters? I downloaded TB's and upload almost a TB each month and never get one. :eek:

Unlimited, but in reality its not really unlimited it does have a CAP at some point.

Dark Light · 4 Apr 2014 at 07:23

Thanks, DuMeter seems to work nicely.

Fair usage, just like on mobile phones.

Cosimo · 4 Apr 2014 at 07:39

Don't bother as we have unlimited.

Raymond Lin · 4 Apr 2014 at 07:41

No, always had unlimited so never ever had to.

Virgin have never pushed this on me.

I have been downloading at 15mb/s for over 12 hours before nothing at peak times.

Get virgins top package and you do get unlimited.

Glaucus · 4 Apr 2014 at 09:31

No, why would you if you're unlimited. Both home and mobile are unlimited. Phone will tell me what I've used in the last 30days as that's built in.

Sho · 4 Apr 2014 at 09:32

Unlimited here. With Virgin Media.
